Antarctica Map Scavenger Hunt

Embark on an exciting scavenger hunt across the icy continent of Antarctica with this engaging geography resource. Students will sharpen their map reading skills by using cardinal and intermediate directions to locate important Antarctic features. The activity covers cities, bodies of water, landforms, national parks, monuments, and even capital cities. With four pages of targeted questions, educators can implement this scavenger hunt as individual practice, a small group activity, or even a fun whole class competition. As a supplemental resource for middle and high school social studies and geography curriculum, this quest encourages critical thinking and spatial analysis in an interactive way. Rather than passively reading about Antarctica’s unique characteristics, students will feel as if they are exploring the seventh continent themselves.
